| Abstract | ||
| Three roughages (corn stalks, wheat straw, and rice straw) were compared for the effect of !WO or three times reeding frequency per day on the performance of three different sheep breeds (Farafra. ehios and Ossimi). Feeds consisted of 50:50 roughage: cqncentrales and were offered resl.ricted at 3% of live body weight In eighteen metabolism trials. Dry matter intakes were not inf\Jenced by frequency of feeding. ~nimal breed or by type of roughage. Osslmi breed sl"l<7Ned higher values than the ottler breeds in nutrient Utilization. Three times feeding frequency showed beUer digestibility coefficients than !WO times. Ossimi. com stalks and three limes feeding Vlere higher than the others in nitrogen retention. Results Indicated that no signiflcantidifJerences among breeds, type of roughage and feeding frequency in rumen parameters. It ;s concluded thai. under the conditions prevailed in this study\ increasing feeding frequency improved nutrient utilization in different sheep breeds Ofi in different rations. | ||
